The Candy Golde line-up, down to the mastering and cover art, reads something like a cross between a Warhol Factory party and the sonic alternative music boom of the 90s with a generous serving of in your face rock 'n roll. The men of Candy Golde are Nick Tremulis, Bun E. Carlos (Cheap Trick), John Stirratt (Wilco, Autumn Defense) and Rick Rizzo (Eleventh Dream Day), that's over 100 years rock 'n roll experience for the Chicagoland vets. The 5-song EP was mastered by Ivan Julian of Richard Hell and the Voidoids. The EP contains four originals and a cover of Paul Simon's ''Boy in the Bubble'', issued for limited edition 10'' vinyl and download on Ten O Nine Records. The dark, authorative drawing gracing the cover is by renowned modern artist Wesley Kimler, hand-picked by Tremulis, Stirratt and Rizzo, all good friends with the painter. Together they deliver a seamless fusion of the best of what they bring to their bands. You get an idea of what's coming the instant you hear the armageddon dance crazed opener, ''The Hold Steady''. Carlos pounding in the raucous swagger of ''Boy in the Bubble, where you fully expect to see Captain Jack Sparrow leading the pirate brigade. The incandescent pop wonder that is ''Trouble's Coming Down''. It's no wonder, given this lineage of top drawer artists, this band could be described as the best and baddest of musical collaborations Chicago has to offer.
